[QUOTE="stcrim, post: 14886, member: 2734"] Marco - I am on 20mg. Started out on 15 twice a day. Now I would very much like to move to 15 for a few months and then down to 10mg. Am I reading correctly that Dr. G only sees testosterone as an issue for those with a genetic factor that tilts towards clotting? If one is dehydrated that alone can predispose an individual to high clotting risk. There is at least one study that shows that staying hydrated can cut the risk of a heart attack in half. In a nutshell low blood viscosity (thinner blood) is extremely protective for both arteries and veins. One additional risk factor I may have the fact I have been low-carb for years. There are quite a few studies that show low-carb increase the blood viscosity where true wheat free vegetarians enjoy very low viscosity. Short history - This June on Father's Day (Sunday) I was doing sprints on steps midday with the temperature around 90 degrees. On the sixth set I passed out briefly; probably because of not eating first and dehydration. I was at a resort hotel on the Gulf Coast so plenty of people responded. Within 10 or 15 minutes of that event I was fine and went home. Spent the next few days working and sitting for long hours, something I normally do. By Wednesday my left leg started swelling quickly and was painful. I also developed a mild cough which may have been about the time the pulmonary embolism happened. By Thursday I was in the hospital. I would never have known I had a pulmonary embolism if not for the CT in the hospital. Five days later I was discharged on Coumadin with an INR of 1.3 and self administered Lovenox. The doctor raised my Coumadin to 15mg at which point my INR jumped to 4.2. His nurse called and told me to get off Coumadin and Lovenox for the next 3 or 4 days. Within 24 hours I was in unbelievable pain. Found a new doctor that let me start Xarelto. The pain was gone within 2 days. [/QUOTE]
